I'm A Celeb's Matt Hancock and Mike Tindall win four stars for camp in terrifying trial

Matt Hancock and Mike Tindall managed to get an impressive four out of five stars for camp in tonight's I'm A Celebrity.

The former Health Secretary faced spiders, rats and ants while ex-rugby player Mike was dunked in horrible grime for the Bushtucker Trial named Fallen Stars.

Viewers watched as the pair worked together to try to feed their hungry campmates after yesterday's trial saw Chris Moyles and Owen Warner fail miserably.

With mouths to feed, Hancock, 44, had to enter confined spaces with a whole host of creepy crawlies for a period of time, while Mike was asked questions by hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

Branding themselves the "dream team", Dec explained the rules as they arrived at the trial clearing: "This is Fallen Stars. There are five stars, but they’ve been smashed into pieces. One of you needs to enter these cages and put them back together.

"The other person will win the amount of time you’re allowed in the cage by answering questions. That celebrity will be sat behind you there on the dunk tank. If they get a question wrong, they’re going in."

Ant added: "You’ll be given 30 seconds per round, but we’ll ask you three questions - for every question you answer correctly you’ll earn another 30 seconds.

"And the star puzzles will get harder as the cages progress. Every star you put back together will be worth a meal for camp tonight."

Mike was then asked a series of questions relating to each cage, if he got the answers wrong he got dunked.

As Hancock worked his way through the first couple of puzzles in the cages, Ant said: "He’s good at puzzles - he said he was. He wasn’t fibbing".

Other questions for Mike included the name for a male rat, which he answered ‘stud’ but it was ‘buck’.

In an ant-themed round the royal correctly named Ant’s birth place and in a round with rats correctly identified Ratatouille as a rat-themed film.

However, Hancock was unable to finish one puzzle in the time given, so they earned four out of the five stars available.

He said: “So close to nailing it, but four out of five, I’m sure in camp they’ll be thrilled. For us, we’ll still be thinking about how we could have just got that fifth as it was so close.”

Back at camp after learning their tally, Jill Scott said: "Four stars which was absolutely brilliant as it didn’t sound straight forward."
